This hike begins at one of the more crowded trailheads Ramona Falls, but quickly moves to some of the loneliest terrain on the mountain. Along the way, the scenery is dominated by evidence of the forces of nature at work that provide a terrific living laboratory for children and adults: the Muddy Fork canyon is literally coming apart at the seams, with several recent mudflows dramatically changing the landscape before you. The gleaming pyramid of Mount Hood towers above the entire route.

This route starts in Daleville as Appalachian Trail crosses US 220. Heads south. This route takes you across McAfee Knob, Sawtooth, Dragons Tooth and Kelly’s Knob. Then you head across the Mountain Lake Wilderness. While going done the Rice Fields and ending on top of Angel’s Rest. 

A famosa e tradicional Perdidas é um reduto de cerrado, bem próximo à capital de MG que abriga inúmeras espécies de animais selvagens, cursos de rio e matas situada na região do chamado quadrilátero aquífero/ferrífero. Trata-se de uma antiga rota do período colonial que ligava Belo Horizonte ao antigo povoado de Macacos, hoje São Sebastião das Águas Claras(1). Foi o berço para centenas de atletas profissionais e amadores do mundo dos esportes de aventura que continuam a desfrutar de suas belíssimas e variadas trilhas.
